Well, that's certainly one problem but I was talking about linear
circuit analysis. When will the effects of linear wave cancellation be
understood by the ham radio community?

Walt seems to have sidestepped the non-linear source problem by
defining the "source" as the first point in the system at which the
source signal becomes linear after filtering. He seems to draw a
system box boundary through that point and labels that signal, "the
source". The ratio of voltage to current at that point is, by
definition, the source impedance. That approach sure does simplify
things.

The output of a class-C amp is weighted with odd harmonics. The system
is obviously mismatched at the odd harmonic frequencies.
